Saw Coldcut tonight at Cargo's in London. Was a great concert and Coldcut proved once again that they are the masters of AV - albeit with a few technical glitches. They were launching their new album and previewed a few tracks. They were all based unusually around vocal leads rather than their usual mixed up beats - and as usual they contained elements of political protest.
I remember buying my first Coldcut album back in 1995 and wondering at the time what I had bought (I both liked and disliked it because it was so strange and weird compared what I usually listened to). I think I like them a little more now, but they still occupy that strange weird place where visuals and audio come together in an often exclectic mix.
I especially love Cargo's - the layout and vibe is great, if moot were ever to get their own café/bar space I think their layout would be an ideal starting point.
